An investment of $5000 earns $6000 simple interest in 12 years. Calculate the interest rate.
Please show working out

10%

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we can use a modified version of the simple interest formula which is shown below:

I = interest amount

P = principal amount

t = time (years)

Lets plug in the values:

The last step is to convert 0.1 into a percent:

0.1(100) = 10

The interest rate is 10%

y-1700=200(x+4)

step-by-step explanation:

200(x+4) is 200x + 800 she is saving 200 per week x is the weeks and the -1700 is. us that’s howmuch she already had

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
